I forgot to show it expanded, but the 'Games', 'My Apps', and 'My Contacts' use FolderOrganizer lite and Apps Organizer to give a nice dynamic shortcuts folder. (I didn't like the default android folders.)
Live Wallpaper is EarthRot. It's sweet.
Good looking app set up. How do you get Pandora to show as a large icon? I'd like not having to search for it since I use it so much.
I'll give it a whirl when I get home, btw pens app was the first thing I downloaded when I got my phone! Well that and a steelers app but the steelers app sucked so uninstalled it...

haha nice, again, I honestly think the Penguins Mobile app is one of the most well developed apps I've seen. Granted they have the funding to do so, I'm just very impressed. The minimalistic widget is fantastic, and the app itself has more than I expected.
I tried to install this on my laptop and connect phone so I could post screen shots but get lost in the program. Can somebody post a step by step procedure for dummies like myself lol? I went to the link and downloaded the package for windows, unzipped it, but then I get lost.
Yeah, it's integrated in Beautiful widgets. When you add the widget "Beautiful home", there's an option to dl/apply a skin. The cool thing with the Wrigley one (if you're using helix) is when you turn to landscape, the skin completely changes:
Compare that to the previously posted pic
What is the widget you have running that has the letters A M N R S V at the bottom with red-to-green bars and mute icons?

Glenn, this is the easiest way I found to do this:
First and foremost on your phone touch the menu button and go to settings. Select Applications in this list, then select development. Ensure USB Debugging is turned on.
Then:
-Connect your Incredible as a disk drive
-Run HTCSync2.0.25.exe (HTC Sync)
-Unzip the downloaded android-sdk-windows
-Run SDK Setup.exe from the unzipped folder
-Following the setup of HTC Sync Click Start > Run
-Type CMD
-In the Command prompt box it will most likely say C:\Documents and Settings\{your username}\
**Note: Documents and Settings is in XP, if you have
Vista or Windows 7 it will say users**
-If you unzipped it to your desktop type the following:
-cd Desktop (then press enter)
-cd Name of the unzipped folder (then press enter)
-cd Tools
-ddms.bat
This should bring up the view of your device in the Dalvik Debug Monitor
-Click on the device in the list on the top left
-Click Device and then Capture Screenshot
This should then show a preview of what you currently have on your screen.

Exactly. One thing I do differently, which I think is easier than typing in what's underlined above, is actually navigate to the tools folder of the SDK and open that. In the "address bar" of the tools folder, when you click on it, it'll change to the path you would need to type. Copy and paste into the cmd window after you type in cd -space-

type "ddms.bat" and push enter. Give it a second and you'll see the dalvik debug monitor
Copy and paste is definitely easier (please note in the command prompt you cannot use the shortcut keys of CTRL + V to paste, you must right click and select paste)
One note is if you are using XP and it says "Documents and Settings you may have to put quotes around the line so it would read:
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\<yourusername>\Desktop\android-sdk_r05-windows\tools"
anyways, if anyone really needs more instruction just let me know and I can help out.

Reason: CTRL + V Blurb add
I too liked the look of HELIX but i found a problem with it see the pic above his WIFI is turned on but if you look at the top of the screen he's still using the 3G to pull stuff from the net. I first thought it was just me so i uninstalled Helix and sure enough that was the problem....
Lets say you have your 3G on and as soon as you hit the wifi toggle. The wifi icon takes the place of the 3G icon on the status bar at the top of the phone, at least this is how it should work but if you install Helix it doesnt do that any more
another thing i found is that if you have helix installed and you have 3G and wifi off the Wifi toggle wont turn the wifi all the way on you have to go to the wifi setting and as soon as you get there the wifi icon pops up on top and then you can use the wifi.
its too bad cause i like Helix but if its gonna give me problems like this ill have to unistall it
p.s ive been getting these errors with HELIXlauncher not HELIXlauncher 2.

What are you using lgldrgdlr?
Awfully observant there. I just checked and I have wifi on and the icon is there. I turned it off for a minute, turned it back on, and it came up after about 10 seconds. Not sure what happened in that other pic.

Favorites Widget Images
Well since everyone is showing off their UI, I'd figure its a good time to ask, anyone have any issues with your picture say your favorites looks really bad, the quality of the picture is nothing like the actual picture, looks like all they pixels are crunched up and the image looks really distorted and cheap. I have a feeling this issue is due to the way Google syncs your contacts.
I tried deleting my picture from my gmail account, then upload a nice good quality picture (from my phone), when i add this contact to my favorite widget, the image looks clean and smooth...once i do a sync the image looks bad.
Copy and paste is definitely easier (please note in the command prompt you cannot use the shortcut keys of CTRL + V to paste, you must right click and select paste)

Well, I really appreciate all the help. I downloaded htcsync and it is in my list of programs. I have the phone set right with usb debugging on and connected as a disk drive. However, htcsync doesn't connect to the phone.
dont need it as a disk drive. open your cmd line (start, type run then cmd "enter") when its opened, enter in the path to the tools folder and hit enter. after you do the, type adb and see what happens. if you get a bunch of things scrolling past, you're good

Any ideas???
That's okay, mine doesn't sync up either, just try to proceed now that you have installed HTC sync. What operating system are you working with?
For what it's worth, I did some considerable testing this afternoon with HelixLauncher 2. It looks pretty sick, but it was force closing A LOT. Not sure if it was a conflict with another app or what, but I switched to Helix 1 and had no issues. Also, thanks for the link to the news widget lgldrgdlr

Yea, I tried Helix2 today and it was closing too much. I think it has issues with some of the widgets. I'll give Helix1 a try, but hopefully they'll fix the issues.
Funny enough Vista is what I used to do this. What happens when you open the command prompt, go to the extracted Tools folder and attempt to run ddms.bat?
Where did you get the Google Voice widget/shortcut? Just bought my invite, and can't seem to figure out where to get it.
I have the same thing. It's just the program shortcut. Its not a widget. You just add-->program--> find google voice and select it.
Edit: I forgot that there is also a pseudo-widget (actually a shortcut) for google voice that toggles whether to make calls with google voice or not. Its found by using add --> shortcut -->google voice

I guess that's my problem --- I can't find the shortcut to google voice. Did I set it up wrong? I signed up from my PC, and followed the instructions. Everything seems to work well, but other than the fact that it works, I can't find anything that references google voice on my phone!

I edited my reply to show that there is both a shorcut and a program shorcut. Two different things. The shortcut allows you to toggle whether google voice is used for calls or not. The program shortcut just brings you to google voice.
Maybe you can find one or the other?
PS: How did you get credit for my post and me credit for yours lol

LOL. I don't know how I did that!
When I go into my programs, there's nothing that shows that I have google voice. Maybe it's because I only did the voicemail, and did not get a google voice number?

ok i think i fixed the quote mixup haha. There was an extra quote tag!
I'm not sure whats going on. I would first try rebooting if you havent done that since installing goolge voice. Otherwise try uninstalling and reintalling. This happened once for me with not finding a widget that I had just installed but it ended up showing up after about 5 minutes without me having to do anything.
It's actually one of the nicest apps that I've used.
